Sydney Opera House Covered in 3D Projection Sails [VIDEO]

Vivid LIVE, a 10-day celebration of ambitious popular music within the annual Vivid Sydney festival in Australia, has commissioned the multi-award winning German design collective URBANSCREEN to create a new projected artwork. "Lighting the Sails" transforms the Sydney Opera House with its reinterpretation of the sails, a standout 3D projection showing now through June 11.

The iconic building looks as if it is billowing in the night sky before larger-than-life figures appear, generating waves that reverberate across the facade. The sails then fragment to form an origami model that seems to crush under the weight of the night sky. Check it out in the video below:
